An earthly and surreal collection of poetry ranging from science, rats and pigs, confessions to romance. Lust, travel, and ecology. The imagery in Marici’s Sneezing Coyotes combines the faraway with the close at home. Links us to the busy streets of Hanoi, the killing fields of Cambodia, collapsing barns in the Midwest as well as the life of Latin American Campesinos. Tuna casseroles become the catalyst for discovery.
